    Yaa Gyasi
    • Yaa Gyasi is an African-American
    author.
    • She wrote ‘Homegoing’, a novel
    about the systemic effects of
    slavery.
    Homegoing – Yaa
    Gyasi
    • What do you think the author
    means when she says: “The
    consequences of their fate
    reverberate through the
    generations that follow from the
    Gold Coast of Africa to the
    plantations of Mississippi.”
    What is happening to them, the
    people that are sold into slavery,
    will have consequences in the
    future to the Africans that are left
    behind (and their countries) as
    well as to those living in the United
    States.
